Les consommateurs ont développé au fil du temps une connaissance ainsi qu'une méfiance à l'égard de stimuli provenant de différentes sources commerciales: publicité, vendeurs, mais plus récemment, techniques de réduction de prix destinées à leur redonner du pouvoir d'achat. Trois expérimentations mettent en évidence l'effet préjudiciable du scepticisme individuel à l'égard de la promotion sur les réponses à la promotion au travers de deux mécanismes: la minimisation des Économies perçues (« too good to be true ») et la moindre intention d'achat de celles-ci.
